Ramadan Recipes: Zaatar Spring Rolls

Zaatar Spring Rolls is a delightful Ramadan recipe, perfect for iftar during the holy month of Ramzan. Inspired by Lebanese cuisine, these oven-baked appetizers are crunchy and bursting with savory flavors. Using wonton or egg wrappers, they're easy to prepare. Stemming from a Lebanese tradition of enjoying sambousek, a fried cheese-stuffed pastry, these zaatar spring rolls offer a modern twist on the classic. By using egg roll wrappers, they become more accessible while maintaining the same delicious taste that families cherish during Ramadan.
